From Leah: I am a wife, mother of two, music teacher and pattern designer. My knowledge of sewing comes from my mother and grandmothers. I grew up thinking everyone’s mother reupholstered their furniture! I love creating and sharing my designs with others. I started writing my designs down after a friend on Flickr asked if I would help her make a bag like one I had made. Sewing, taking pictures, drawing and testing the products sounds like fun but it is also a lot of work. My favorite moments are reading emails from others showing me pictures of their completed bags and how happy they are to have completed their Sew Spoiled project.

It must be incredibly hard to create a tutorial, ready for print. But I just had a look at the one that was posted today on the cosmetic totes and you really took great photos and made the instructions work well. I can’t wait to make my set!
